Description

This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Short Bomber. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

The RNAS sought to acquire a large land-based bomber and the Short Type 184 was adapted in the form of the Short Bomber. The plane started with the Type 184 fuselage, but stability was improved with a longer fuselage and this change was made soon after the first production planes arrived. The wings were different from the start, adding a bay to extend them for greater lifting power. Later production planes upgraded from the Type 184’s original 225hp Sunbeam engine to the 250hp Rolls-Royce Eagle.

At least fifteen Short Bombers were transferred to the RFC around the time of the Somme Offensive in summer 1916. By early 1917 the Short Bombers were starting to be phased out because the Handley-Page O/100 carried a much larger bomb-load.

The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.

Additional information

Dimensions 9.5 × 18.1 × 3.2 cm

Shipping:  Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country.  See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations.  Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).

Mixed Materials:  Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.

Taxes:  Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments.  Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”.  Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.

Customs:  Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations.  If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier.  E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
